I landed on the blimp to the boys right and I shifted back to my normal form "You can open your eyes now" I said noticing his eyes were clenched shut, he slowly opened them and they widened at the sight "Wow" he exclaimed "Enjoying the view?" Rudolph asked leaning back on his hands

"Yeah, and thanks dude you saved my life, that truck was gonna splatter me" he said facing Rudolph "You keep calling me dude, my names Rudolph. And this is Nora" Rudolph said motioning to me, the boy glanced back at me and I waved a little "Dude is slang, like you call a friend" he explained turning back to Rudolph

"Friend?" he asked tilting his head "Well we saved each others lives didn't we?" The boy asked holding out his hand "Yes we did. Friends" Rudolph said shaking his hand "My name is Tony" the boy said turning and offering me his hand, I smiled a little and shook it "Let's play" he said getting to his feet

"Yes, we shall play" Rudolph nodded also standing, they started to jump up and down while laughing "My best friends a vampire!" Tony shouted excitedly, I giggled and watched amused as they played but I could feel a small jealous type feeling in the back of my mind, it had been so long since I talked to someone like me...a normal human girl,

letting Gregory turn me meant giving up a lot of old habits and I did miss a lot of them, like being able to go out into the sun without worrying about bursting into flames "I think I should get home" Tony said jumping and landing on his rear end next to me "How do we get down from here?" he asked worriedly "You'll fly" I said shrugging "But I can't fly" he said, I giggled

"I got you up here didn't I?" Rudolph asked crouching down "I guess so" Tony replied "Then stay calm. Friend" Rudolph said smiling a little "Alright let's fly" he said standing straight and holding his hand out to Tony, I let my hood fall down and I stood up aswell "As long as you're holding onto me you'll be fine" Rudolph reasured, Tony nervously stood up and placed his hand into Rudolph's

"Ladies first" he said smirking at me, I rolled my eyes "You are so much like your brother" I said before walking forwards and jumping off the edge of the blimp, I flew up until I was hovering in front of the boys "Come on then" I said crossing my arms, Rudolph flew up into the air and Tony went with him "Wow, it's great to be a vampire" Tony exclaimed as we flew in the direction of his home

"Membership does have it's privilages" Rudolph said "My mom and dad went to a party there" Tony said pointing towards one of the many large mansions in Scotland "Vampires are a lot different than' I thought they'd be" Tony said after a few silent seconds "Father's seen to that, were a family not fears that's why we only drink cows blood" Rudolph explained "But I thought vampires drink human blood" Tony said confused,

I chuckled "We do, but we have to live with cows blood" I said "Why?" he asked "Because we've been hunted for centuries and we always have to hide, we want to become humans not eat them for dinner" Rudolph said shaking his head, we flew over a lake but soon ended up flying over the fields again "Hey do you see what color that car is?" Tony asked, I looked and squinted

"Green. Man and woman inside, man talking very loudly and waving his hands" I said "Oh no my parents! I'm in a lot of trouble my dad's gonna kill me" he exclaimed, I rolled my eyes and we steered to fly towards his house, as soon as we landed on the balcony to Tony's window he ran inside and I slowly followed "You need to hide" he said putting his glasses on the side table and jumping into bed fully clothed,

I could hear his parents's voices getting closer and I looked around the room for a hiding spot "Take your time Nora" Rudolph said sarcastically, I inwardly cursed myself knowing he learnt that tone from watching humans which I allowed him to do "No more going out with you" I said giving him an' annoyed look, he rolled his eyes and the door opened so I thought quickly by flying upwards to the ceiling,

I had to keep my arms pinned to my sides so that my dress didn't fall down into his parents view, Rudolph was up agains't the corner ceiling of the room also watching Tony's parents and a Scottish woman "What's that?" Tony's father asked sniffing the air, his mother also sniffed and I realised it was the vampire smell "I smell it too" his mother said confused,

Tony's father closed the balcony window thinking the smell was coming from outside and they soon left the room, Tony jumped out of the bed and I floated down until I was stood on the window floor, Rudolph landed next to me with a light thud while looking at the door "So those are your parents. They look nice" he said "And tasty?" Tony asked slightly excited "No, nice as in very nice" Rudolph said

"They have their moments" Tony sighed while sitting on the edge of his bed "I suppose we must take our leave" Rudolph said walking towards the window, I followed him and moved the curtain to look out "I haven't had so much fun with a boy my age since I really was 9. Thank's dude" Rudolph said about to open the window "You guys can stay if you want" Tony said,

I flinched back from the window at the sight of Rookery's truck "Maybe we should" I said nervously "Do vampires really sleep in coffins? Cuz that's gonna be a problem" Tony said nodding "Just as long as the sun can't find us. This would be excellent for me" Rudolph said opening the chest in front of Tony's bed "And where would I sleep? I'm too big to fit into any of these boxes" I said looking around the room

"You could sleep in our basement, it's nice and dark down there" Tony said shrugging, I thought about it for a moment before nodding "It sounds good. Lead the way" I said holding out my hand, Tony took it in his small one and he slowly opened the bedroom door "I'll be back" he said turning to Rudolph "Goodnight little brother" I said, he nodded and Tony lead me out into the hall and down the stairs

"So do you have any more brothers and sisters?" he asked curiously while leading me down into the basement "Their not my real family Tony" I admitted as we reached the bottom of the very dark basement "Then how do you know them?" he asked confused, I shrugged and looked around the large room smiling at all the bed choices

"It's difficult to explain Tony. I don't know how you children describe it these days but I'm close with Rudolph's brother" I said trying to explain how I knew the family in the simplest way I could "Rudolph has a brother?" he asked surprised, I nodded and decided to choose a long wicker box to sleep in, it actually looked like a coffin to me "So you're going out with his brother?" he asked,

I was sat down in the coffin with my legs stretched out "What does that mean?" I asked confused "It means you like him more than' a friend and he likes you more than' a friend, and you guys kiss and everything" he said grimacing towards the end, I giggled and nodded

"Then yes Tony I'm going out with Rudolph's older brother" I said amused, he nodded and I shuffled back until I was lying down fully "Night Nora" he said shutting the box for me, I couldn't see anything except for the bottom of the wicker lid "Goodnight Tony" I said before closing my eyes.
